Chapter 477: Don’t Drag Us With You If You’re Seeking Death, The G.o.dly Phoenix’s Opportunity of Fortune
Chu Kuangren and the White-Robed General stood still in the air.
Both of them did not move at all.
That was because the treasures which shot out from the volcano at that time were only Sage-grade treasures. Hence, they were not interested in it at all.
Having recently wiped out five orthodoxies, Chu Kuangren had obtained a tremendous horde of treasure. Adding that with the ones he previously acc.u.mulated, Black Heaven Sect now had so many Sage-grade treasures that he had no interest in those similar items.
Dozens of Sage-grade treasures shot out during the volcano’s first eruption. They were all obtained by several sky-prides and Sages.
Just when everyone was done grabbing whatever they could, the volcano’s second eruption started.
Most of the treasures that shot out this time were also Sage-grade treasures. However, they were of a higher quality compared to before and could be considered Great Sage-grade treasures as well.
Many continued grabbing at whatever they could.
Suddenly, Chu Kuangren’s expression changed slightly.
“The real treasures are going to appear now.”
After that, the volcano erupted for the third time. This time, besides dozens of Sage Ruler-grade treasures, there were also two Boundary Emperor treasures in the mix.
They were two fiery red crystals that emanated an incomparably dense Fire-based Daoist Rhyme, attracting many’s attention.
“Those are Earthen Flame crystals! For cultivators who specialize in Fire-based Dao cultivation, these items are definitely a rare and valuable treasure.”
“If I can get that Earthen Flame crystal, I can definitely ascend to the level of a Sage Ruler.”
Several powerful Sages instantly took action.
Even the other sky-prides joined in on attempting to get those treasures as well.
w.a.n.g Tianteng looked especially determined that he would get it. After all, Fire-based Dao was included in the Five Ways Dao that he specialized in.
“These crystals are mine!”
As he lifted his hand, a loud bang rang out.
The five-colored light had formed into an incredibly terrifying palm that smacked the Sages who were in its path. w.a.n.g Tianteng immediately reached out for the Earthen Flame crystal.
However, a mysterious energy fluctuation suddenly appeared at that time, and the Earthen Flame crystal that w.a.n.g Tianteng was so close to obtaining disappeared in thin air.
The crystals had disappeared before everyone’s eyes!
“What’s going on?”
“Over there.”
Someone suddenly exclaimed.
The Earthen Flame crystal which disappeared in thin air was now in Chu Kuangren’s grasp. He was fiddling with it at that time.
“How did he do it?”
“It’s some sort of spatial technique,” w.a.n.g Tianteng uttered. As the closest person to the Earthen Flame crystal, he managed to notice that surge of spatial fluctuation.
A few had noticed it too.
“This spatial technique is most likely the reason why Chu Kuangren was able to unleash his attacks against five orthodoxies despite being millions of kilometers away.”
“Spatial techniques are already quite rare in existence. Nowadays, cultivators can only utilize the most basic form of spatial energy at most. However, that energy is incredibly hard to make use of, let alone controlling it as proficient as him right now.”
“This guy has just too many tricks up his sleeves.”
Everyone discussed with a low voice, feeling a little helpless.
With Chu Kuangren standing before them, no one would stand a chance against him if he wished to compete with them to obtain the treasures.
All they could do was grab the items that Chu Kuangren did not fancy.
That feeling was incredibly upsetting.
While everyone was in shock by what happened, the volcano erupted again.
This time, more Boundary Emperor-grade treasures shot out.
“Let’s get it. Quickly.”
However, before they could even get close, those Boundary Emperor-grade treasures had already been transported to Chu Kuangren via his Spatial Conveyor Skill.
“What the f*ck!”
“How are we supposed to compete with that!”
“This spatial technique is just too overpowering.”
Everyone’s expression was incredibly unpleasant and gloomy. If Chu Kuangren wanted those items, they would never stand a chance to get them.
“Chu Kuangren, this is just too much. How can you take all of these good treasures for yourself and leave nothing for us?” A Sage could not help but criticize Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren looked at that Sage as if he was looking at an idiot.
“It seems you’re not satisfied.”
“I believe many here have the same opinion too.”
The people nearby immediately distanced themselves from him.
“Nope, I certainly do not. Stop talking nonsense.”
“That’s right. How can we possibly be dissatisfied?”
“These treasures belong to the ones who are most capable of obtaining them. Since Chu Kuangren has that capability, it’s only reasonable for him to get these treasures.”
Everyone looked at that Sage as if they were going to tear him apart.
‘F*ck off!’
‘It’s fine if you want to seek death, but don’t you dare drag us along as well!’
‘Same opinions as you?’
‘Who else here would be as stupid as you to have the guts to confront Chu Kuangren?’
“Look around. Everyone here doesn’t have any comments about this besides you. So, don’t you think the problem lies with you instead?” Chu Kuangren said.
“Y-you guys…”
That Sage looked around him. After realizing that no one was willing to speak out for him, he gritted his teeth angrily and quietly returned to the crowd.
Chu Kuangren was currently at the summit of his own power.
Who would possibly dare to defy him?
Were they not afraid that a palm would suddenly crash down upon them from the sky?
At that time.
The surrounding spiritual qi suddenly surged towards the mouth of the volcano. Everyone’s gazes were immediately s.h.i.+fted towards it.
Tremendous amounts of lava gushed out.
The number of treasures that shot out was far more than those before.
That was when everyone started to reach out and nab them.
This time, they were only aiming at getting the Sage-grade treasures. As for those Boundary Emperor-grade treasures, n.o.body was bothered to even go after them.
After all, none of them could win against Chu Kuangren.
Hence, they could only go for the Sage-grade treasures that he was not interested in.
“Quickly. Look over there.”
“There seems to be something inside the lava.”
A cultivator suddenly noticed a blazing golden light radiating at the bottom of the volcano, and it radiated with surges of Emperor-grade energy waves.
Chu Kuangren’s spiritual thoughts moved slightly. “Huh?”
He realized that his spiritual thoughts were burnt by the scorching heat when it got close to the bundle of golden light.
That temperature was so high that even his spiritual thoughts were burnt.
“Interesting,” Chu Kuangren said with great interest.
The rest of the people’s eyes lit up as well.
“An Emperor-grade treasure. This is definitely an Emperor-grade treasure!”
“Produced in the lava that was nourished by the surrounding earth qi… Can it be the rumored Wildfire Earthen Ember? Or an Emperor-Grade Earthen Ember at that!”
Some of the sky-prides were prepared to act, ready to s.n.a.t.c.h that treasure at any moment.
Although they knew they could not fight over the treasure with Chu Kuangren, they still wanted to try. After all, that was the legendary Emperor Flame.
It was incredibly rare even in the Nine Heavens. If a cultivator could manage to control that Emperor Flame, their combat strength would increase way beyond their peers’.
“Howl…”
At that time, a sharp howl suddenly echoed from afar. The skies in the distance were dyed b.l.o.o.d.y red by a flaming light as a beautiful G.o.dly Phoenix flew towards them. Every living beast bowed and knelt wherever it pa.s.sed.
That was the might of a divine beast!
“Lil Red? Why is she here?”
Chu Kuangren was quite surprised.
“Brother, I sensed a powerful surge of fire-based energy from afar which will no doubt be of great help to me. That is why I came.”
The G.o.dly Phoenix Lil Red came before CHu Kuangren and explained.
The Nine Heavens sky-prides could not help but feel dumbstruck at the sight of the G.o.dly Phoenix.
“A divine beast! A divine beast was born in this lower realm?”
“It seems the rumors are true. Chu Kuangren really got a G.o.dly Phoenix to recognize him as its master. His luck is just too terrifying.”
“That’s a divine beast we’re talking about here! Even the archaic beings in the past are inferior compared to it. It will at least be as powerful as a Great Emperor when it grows up in the future.”
“No. Based on the ancient rumors, even a Great Emperor will have to step aside before the might of a fully-developed divine beast!”
Xiao Jingchen, w.a.n.g Tianteng, and the others looked at Chu Kuangren with deep jealousy and admiration in their eyes.
Not only was Chu Kuangren a Supreme Sage himself, but a G.o.dly Phoenix also recognized him as its master. Could Chu Kuangren be the child of destiny??
Compared to Chu Kuangren, these so-called sky-prides paled into insignificance.
